Time = Healing —maybe… 🧐 but that’s only part of the formula.

What’s missing?

Effort, intention, and learning to love all the parts of you that feel unloveable.

Time + Effort + Intention + Love = Healing in Action 💓

The last element is asking for help from someone who’s been there.

Reach out when you are ready to take action.

In the beginning, grief can feel very intense and all consuming. It’s hard to notice anything outside your own pain.

In the first session with a new client, I gently guide them to clearly articulate, in their own words, current problems, desired outcomes, resources needed to support healing, and any obstacles that may block progress.

This creates a written roadmap that guides our future coaching sessions.

Recently, a client was not feeling like she was making progress. So we went back to the original session notes, and she was able to see and feel how much she had grown. There were so many problems that were no longer a problem for her.

With this new awareness, we were able to continue to focus on the present and all the possibilities for her life beyond the loss of her beloved mom.

Sooo beautiful to witness healing in real time 💛✨🙏

Enjoying the life you have left does not mean you didn’t love them enough. It means you now know what is most important (and what isn’t). Live a life you can’t wait to tell them about!

In the early days of grief everything is distorted. You may feel disconnected from your body and the world. This is a natural part of the process. Your body is working really hard to process everything you’ve just been through. Your body knows how to grieve. What is it trying to tell you?

The early days of grief are intense and disorienting. There is no future—only pain in the present and constant replay of what you’ve just been through.

This is normal and natural and part of the process. Allow it to be what it needs to be. Your body, mind, and spirit are working really hard to process everything that just happened. They need nourishment and gentleness and grace. It’s now time to be a caregiver to your Self.

Your future Self thanks you, loves you, and is waiting for you.

When a loved one dies, what do you do with all the stuff they left behind?

This is a common stuck point for people in grief. Our memories of a person are often attached to their things. Getting rid of their stuff can feel like you are throwing them away; like you are losing them all over again; like a part of you is being thrown away too. Add guilt and overwhelm to the mix, and it’s easy to see how doing nothing feels like the best option in the moment.

I remember a time in my own grief journey where I felt like if I let go of my grief, it would mean I didn’t love my husband enough. My love for him had become attached to my grief and his death. But he was so much more than that, and so was I.

Eventually, when I allowed myself to let go of the grief, the Love was actually able to expand because it wasn’t stuck in the past any more.

Does this resonate with you? Let me know in the comments below.

There is a time to work through grief, and there is a time to rest and recharge for the work ahead. Fully healing is possible. Intentional time off is all part of the process. Give yourself a break. You are worth it.

How prepared are you to support someone you love at the end of their life?

Much of what I do as a death doula is to educate—
*natural stages of the dying process
*how to support each stage
*creating a sacred, peaceful environment
*how to handle visitors
*how to “be” when there’s nothing left to “do”

Knowing what to expect and having options eases fears and makes room for you to simply love your person out of this world.

If you or someone you know needs support, or if you’d simply like to be more prepared for the unknown, let’s connect today.

Death can bring even the most accomplished person to their knees. Humility, surrender, and trust are three of death’s biggest teachings and will bring you back into the light of Joy.
